SharePoint News Web part & Managed Categories

Leonel GUZMAN If the Site Pages library is on the same site as the news web part, choose "Page Properties" in the filter and you will see your column as a choice. As a best practice, add your columns as Site Columns first and then add them to the Site Pages library. This will ensure that they become managed properties that can be used on other sites - but you do have to assign values to pages first. However, you don't need to use managed properties if the news is coming from the Site Pages library on the same site.
